Finally caught the Americans in Paris exhibition at the National Gallery. Generally very impressive, though I was disappointed in the Mary Casatt paintings, having previously been very taken with her prints.

What Women Want is the latest exhibition at the Women's Library. Exhibits are arranged to cover the areas of pleaseure, home life, work, security, independence and equality.

Online at the Ashmolean - pictures from an exhibition in 2003, in which monks created the Tibetan Sand Mandala of Chenrezi.

The Hunterian is displaying work by Jessie M King. The exhibition runs till 29 October

The highlight of this year's Hampton Court for me was Paddington's Marmalade Garden:

RHS coverage

"The second Holyrood Poetry Link scheme aims to celebrate the vibrancy of contemporary Scottish poetry, whilst providing an opportunity for Members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs) to demonstrate their support for the arts.

Poets and MSPs met to explore issues of mutual interest and agree a theme or themes on which the poet would write." (Introduction to the project). The poems are on the Scottish Poetry Library website.

August Strindberg: Painter, Photographer, Writer:

"Strindberg distrusted the glass lens of the camera: he felt that it distorted the truth. So he built his own pinhole camera, his Wunderkamera, which functioned without a lens." (Exhibition commentary).
